Best Brush Clean Up Product
I just finished painting with an oil based paint & I have soaked the brushes in mineral spirits. Is there another product I should use to condition the brushes after cleaning w/ mineral spirits?

The brushes should be combed and brushed out with the spirits or thinner to properly clean them
Then tapped or even better spun on a spinner to "fling" any remaining paint/thinner off
You probably don't need any further "conditioning" beyond a good cleaning, but you might want to post up what type of brushes you are refering to, just in case they require some unusual care

Often, after cleaning brushes, I will fold a few pages into a shuck around the brush
